Sen. Joe Biden - 1972 crash still haunts driver's family
It's hard to post anything derogatory on this issue; however, this stretch of the truth is hurting someone...
Rachel Kipp reports at DelawareOnline.com:
"Since his vice presidential nomination, Joe Biden's 2007 statement that a 'guy who allegedly ... drank his lunch' and drove the truck that struck and killed his first wife and daughter has gained national media traction.
Alcohol didn't play a role in the 1972 crash, investigators found. But as recently as last week, the syndicated TV show Inside Edition aired a clip from 2001 of Biden describing the accident to an audience at the University of Delaware and saying the truck driver 'stopped to drink instead of drive.'
The senator's statements don't jibe with news and law enforcement reports from the time, which cleared driver Curtis C. Dunn, who died in 1999, of wrongdoing."
